Not sure where this belongs. I would like to see people post pictures of their trip to the summit.

The following pictures are from July 24, 2007. (clickable thumbnails)

may I?

edit:
maybe relabel the thread "favorite Whitney pictures" and keep the thread alive with great images - it would go better if people could post the image rather than the link

Here's one. (Start scrollin'....)

this pano stretches the screen - maybe a link or separate thread for large panos - it would be a shame to try and downsize this

stunning shot(s) - I love the views from Thor

Amazing Pano! I'm studying it right now for routes against written descriptions!

Maybe there could be a separate board for pics, like what they have on HStopix?

Beautiful shots! It makes me want to go again - soon.


B-B-B-Bland to the Bone,

I am looking for a panoramic stitching program. I took several pictures panning the horizon with all the intentions of putting it together as one wide panoramic shot. Unfortunately I do not know how to use the pano option of my gigi cam.

I remember using a program called photo stitch which came with my cam. But I can't seem to find that CD.

Here's another pic to keep the thread going with pictures in each post.

From our 3-day trip in 2001, the East Face of Whitney from the Switchbacks:



Also, along the lines of panoramas, I shot this 360-degree VR panorama from the summit boulders. Take a look "down" in the pan...

One of these days, I'll have to go back up there and take my newer digital SLR along so I get better image quality in the pan. Someday...

Booga,

Here are panoramic pictures I took on our trip to the top in July:




I use a stitching program called Arcsoft Panomaker 4.0 which does a fairly god job of not distorting multiple photos together. I find that using more than 6 pictures tends to cause your finished panoramic image to look "funny." Love the pictures posted above! Keep'em coming!

Couple of mine...











Hard to choose just one!

Edit: How do I embed the images at a smaller size (say 600 x xxx)?

MT Whitney's North Face (as seen from MT Russell)


Ice climbing @ Whitney Falls (the mountain has so much to offer year around)

perfect timing arriving at Iceberg Lake from UBSL at dawn to see the morning glow on the east face before going up MR.

here's a "ranch view" of Whitney, fall 2006. Harvey

I just purchased Photoshop CS3 which has a super pano program for automatically stitching. You might want to take a look at it; it is much better than CS2 and very fast.

I hope this is not too far off topic, but I have been looking for a picture that shows the MR route from UBSL to Iceberg in preparation of my first ascent in a week and a half, and it looks like the large pano picture posted above has a great shot of that terrain. Is there any possibility that I could get someone to sketch the route up that section of the MR on the big pano shot?

Thanks.
